Such system must take into account the whole of the resources of the territory served, including foster families and homecare resources and permits issued to institutions. It must be designated to promote services that complement those provide by other institutions for the users in question.
The admission system shall in particular provide for the participation of physicians, social workers and nurses.
The admissions system shall provide procedures for assessing the application and for setting up regional or subregional admission committees.
The admissions committee shall fix the order of priority of admissions for the institutions covered by this section. The regional council shall maintain a card-index of applications for admission received by the admissions committees.
